Spanish clubs experienced mixed fortunes in their Champions League quarter-finals in Italy last night but both Barcelona, who drew, and Valencia, who lost 1-0, will feel well placed to capitalise on their performances on home turf in two weeks' time.

Javier Saviola gave Barcelona an away goal to take back to the Nou Camp as the Catalan team drew 1-1 with Juventus in Turin.

The Argentinian forward seized on a reverse pass from Patrick Kluivert in the 77th minute to stab the ball past Gianluigi Buffon for the equaliser and within minutes Buffon had to be alert to prevent Kluivert giving Barca the lead from close range.

Juventus had taken the lead in the 16th minute through Paolo Montero. The Uruguayan defender, more used to stopping goals by fair means or foul, got his head to a Pavel Nedved cross which Alessandro Del Piero then volleyed at the keeper. The loose ball fell to Montero and he drilled his shot in from 10 yards.

In injury-time Marco di Vaio had a chance to restore the Italian team's advantage when through one-on-one with the goalkeeper but dragged his shot wide.

In the night's other quarter-final a 14th-minute goal from Christian Vieri was enough to give Internazionale a 1-0 first-leg lead over Valencia .
